  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Leads AL in homers

    Devers went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to Baltimore.

    Devers is mashing to open the season and leads the American League with nine homers. His 16 extra-base hits are tied for most in MLB with Matt Chapman.

  • Mike Moustakas 3B | CHW

    Rockies' Mike Moustakas: Three hits in Monday's win

    Moustakas went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Monday's 6-0 win over the Guardians.

    It's the first multi-hit performance of the season for Moustakas, as he got the start at third base and hit sixth for the Rockies. With Elehuris Montero back down in Triple-A, there are at-bats available at the hot corner and at DH, but Moustakas hasn't done a lot to earn them so far by batting .243 with one homer, seven RBI and eight runs in 16 games.

  • J.D. Davis 1B | LAA

    Giants' J.D. Davis: Belts three-run homer in win

    Davis went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Cardinals.

    Davis' home run extended the Giants' lead to 4-0 in the seventh inning, which was enough to seal the win. The former Met now has five home runs and 16 RBI on the season to go along with a .304/.347/.551 slash line.

  • Nick Maton DH | CHW

    Tigers' Nick Maton: Crushes three-run shot

    Maton went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer in Monday's win over the Brewers.

    Maton singled in the first inning to snap an 0-for-21 skid before ripping a three-run homer in the third. He's up to four home runs this season alongside a .154/.257/.369 slash line through 74 plate appearances. Maton picked up his first extra-base hit since April 14.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Cardinals' Nolan Arenado: Getting day off Monday

    Arenado is not in the Cardinals' lineup Monday in San Francisco, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Arenado is in the middle of a 5-for-32 slide at the plate, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Brendan Donovan will be at third base, with Tommy Edman covering second base and Paul DeJong playing shortstop.

  • Jace Peterson SS | ARI

    Athletics' Jace Peterson: Sitting against lefty

    Peterson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

    The lefty-hitting Peterson will take a seat with southpaw Jose Suarez on the bump for the Angels. Aledmys Diaz will start at third base with Peterson on the bench.

  • Gio Urshela 3B | MIN

    Angels' Gio Urshela: Takes seat Monday

    Urshela is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Urshela will take a seat against the Athletics on Monday after going 2-for-11 in the three-game series against the Royals. Luis Rengifo will hit seventh and play second base with Brandon Drury hitting sixth while handling first base.

  • Ryan McMahon 3B | NYY

    Rockies' Ryan McMahon: Scratched due to illness

    McMahon has been scratched from the Rockies' lineup Monday in Cleveland due to an illness, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Mike Moustakas will slide into the lineup in his place. McMahon should be ready to return to the starting nine in a day or two.

  • Tyler Nevin 3B | ATH

    Tigers' Tyler Nevin: Back on bench versus righty

    Nevin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Nevin had started in three of the Tigers' past four games -- all against right-handed pitchers -- but he'll head back to the bench for Monday's series opener. With Javier Baez moving past a minor finger injury and Zach McKinstry swinging a hot bat of late to at least temporarily earn himself more reps against right-handers, Nevin may have to settle for a short-side platoon role in the Detroit infield.

  • Oswald Peraza 2B | LAA

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Heads to bench Monday

    Peraza is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    Peraza will take a seat after going 2-for-12 with a pair of walks, two RBI, two runs and a stolen base while starting each of the past four games. Though he's on the bench for Monday's series opener in Minnesota, Peraza could have a path to fairly regular playing time until the Yankees get one of their three banged-up everyday players -- Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), Josh Donaldson (hamstring) and Harrison Bader (oblique) back from the 10-day injured list.
